The National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) is appealing to residents living in flood prone areas to relocate to higher grounds.

According to the Director of Communication of NADMO, George Kwadwo Ayisi, the torrential rains currently being witnessed in parts of the country would continue and therefore it was important that residents in flood prone areas relocate.
